[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't say this often, or lightly, but you're a shitty person.

She's got a crap job, she's trying to get out of it, she's asking you to be a reference and your response is to consider TELLING ON HER because if she leaves, you'll have more work??

The correct response is "Of course! Best of luck on your search! If someone calls me, is there anything in particular you'd like me to emphasize?"

If your company is so poorly run that you're preemptively stressing out about the amount of work you'll have to do if someone else leaves, then you should either be working to fix that because you're understaffed, setting more limits at work, or looking for a new job yourself. People leave jobs, everyone adjusts, a new hire comes in, everyone adjusts. You'll live. It's not that big a deal. Be grateful you've got an extra heads up, and if you DO get called for a reference, give a great one and then go to her and say "I gave you a really good reference, I hope you get the job! I'm going to miss you around here. I will say, I'm starting to get stressed about the extra work - will you do me a favor and start working on your documentation? That would really help me out."

I'm sure she'll give two weeks notice, which is prime time for documentation, and if you help her out and ask her, she'll probably pay even more attention to it.

You might want to do a little introspection as to why you're so self-centered that you're considering blowing up someone's career and/or livelihood to prevent a couple months of being busy at the office. [/quote]
